GNet Overview

GNet is a simple networking library. It is writen in C, object-oriented, and built upon glib. It is intended to be small, fast, easy-to-use, and easy to port. It is somewhere between being wrappers over the standard network sockets library and providing high-level client and server abstractions.

Features:

• TCP "client" and "server" sockets

• UDP and IP Multicast

• Internet address abstraction

• Asynchronous socket IO

• Asynchronous DNS lookup

• SHA and MD5 hashes

• Byte packing and unpacking
